Thursday’s ruling declared the agreement unconstitutional and ordered Argentina not to go ahead with it. The deal had been delayed anyway by Iranian reluctance to move forward in implementing it. …

Israel and world Jewish groups had denounced the “truth commission” deal with Iran, calling it a diplomatic win for Tehran that offered no benefit to Argentina. The deal would have let Iran review Argentina’s investigation into the bombing.

Alberto Nisman, the prosecutor who took over investigation of the case, established responsibility to the highest level of Iran’s government. Among those implicated were then President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Iran’s previous defense minister Ahmed Vahidi. Vahidi and intelligence officer Moshen Rabbani were among five Iranians who were flagged by INTERPOL for arrest in the case.

The problem is that any recommendations by the commission would be nonbinding; moreover, some of the suspects in the attack are now high-ranking Iranian officials — including the sitting defense minister, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi — and therefore untouchable. Indeed, Iran has repeatedly refused to cooperate with Argentine investigators and ignored international warrants for the arrest of senior Iranian officials believed to have taken part in planning the bombing.

Mrs. Kirchner’s decision to abandon Argentina’s longstanding grievances against Iran is particularly galling because it comes just weeks after Bulgaria, another country victimized by Iranian-sponsored terrorism, accused Hezbollah of staging a suicide attack on Israeli tourists in the Bulgarian town of Burgas last year. That attack, like the 1994 bombing in Buenos Aires, was part of a shadow war against Jewish civilians across the world. Bulgaria’s government, unlike Argentina’s current administration, decided to stand up to Hezbollah and forthrightly accuse it of the crime.

The government’s agreement with Iran ” is an insult to the memory of those murdered in 1994 and to all of those killed by Argentina’s dictatorship.” In an ironic twist, Argentina’s foreign minister who denounced last week’s court ruling is Hector Timerman, whose late father, Jacobo was a well known newspaper publisher who was imprisoned and tortured by Argentina’s dictatorship.

While the court’s ruling was apparently not about the substance of Nisman’s charges as much as about the government overstepping its bounds, the decision serves as a reminder that no matter much governments try to overlook it, Iran is a major destabilizing force in the world.

This year’s State Department report on global terror “singled out Iran as a major state sponsor of terrorism that continues to defy demands to prove that its atomic ambitions are peaceful — even as Washington pursues negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program.”

Why did Pres. ScamWOW turn his back…very conspicuously…on a real pro-freedom up-welling in Iran as one of his first acts as “leader of the free world”?

That, and a few other things, like killing our space weapons programs, should have told us all who he was in the opening days of his presidency. If any doubt remained, or anyone failed to read his very odd “biographies”.
